    6P Camera - Not THAT Impressed?

    Re: Nexus 6P Camera Performance My problem with the 6p's camera wasn't the photo quality, it's what I had to do to get a photo. First off, the camera doesn't open that quickly all the time, if it needs to free up some RAM it can take a bit. 2nd there is often over a 500ms shutter lag; the time...

    Has anyone used both the 5X and 6P?

    I just got my 6p today, I've had my 5x for about 10 days, before that I had (and still have a iPhone 6 Plus). At first I almost put the 6p back in the box because the screen changes colors so dramatically when tilting. Tilt it slightly and the whole tint goes very blue, the 5x isn't that bad...

    Two bugs/issues with my new 5x

    Btw, I did a system restore trying to fix the google now calender issue, no luck, I suspect the problem is a 15 year all day event i have that I use to keep a hangout always open. Anyway, since the restore the camera hasn't crashed, so maybe that fixed it.

    Who's seeing lag? Should I keep from buying

    It's "mostly" not laggy. Loading the verge.com is pretty chunky, videos on verge.com are horribly slow. Sometimes app switching can lag a little. The camera app acts like it's about to crash everytime i open it and sometimes it does. Coming from a iPhone 6, I think the performance is slightly...

    Build quality perception when coming from iphone?

    Nothing about my 5x's hardware is as good as my iPhone 6+, the build quality, button action, screen, battery, speakers, camera are all worse. That said, I really like android better than IOS so I'm going to stick with android, but trade it for a 6p. I would prefer not to have a phone quite that...

    How's the battery life on your Nexus 5X?

    I was getting 1.5 days with my iPhone 6 Plus, with my 5x i'm getting about i would barley make it through a day. Now i'm likely using it more since it's new and i'm still figuring stuff out and fussing with stuff, but even with apples to apples usage i think it's pretty medicore.

    Launch google voice search while locked using a button?

    I'm coming from iphone and I really miss being able to launch siri by holding down the home button. Saying "ok google" is annoying and doesn't always work. Is there some way to make either the power or volume buttons activate the google voice search?

    5x camera crash and performance

    Yes, the camera on my 5x is pretty buggy. It's locked up my phone twice in the last two days while opening. It lags opening up and it takes pictures upside down often. Also other apps have the camera upside down, like amazon. It's really rough implementation is an otherwise slick package.

    Two bugs/issues with my new 5x

    Is anyone else having the camera crash not come up when double taping the power button? Half the time it buzzes, then shows the lock screen. Sometimes when I do it again I get the camera, two times I got the camera app with a green box and then the phone froze hard, requiring a reboot. Also...

    I've got a Nexus 5X, you've got questions. Let's do this!

    Not really 5x related. I'm coming from my iPhone 6+, I'm mostly switching to rid myself of the horrible apple services (maps, siri). Is there an android equivalent to holding down the power button to activate "ok google"? I realize I can just say "ok google", and I might prefer that, but...
